I think some power is back on in the bayou/river parishes, but the staggering crisis there continues, as more or less every structure in the area sustained at least some damage, and mud from flooding is still coating the ground in many places. Habitable housing is short supply, as is food, water, etc. A lot of work is being done there, but the damage was monumental, and it's going to take months to years to fix things, if they ever get fixed.

I got my third trash pickup today (just the cart), but I know some homes here in NOLA are still waiting for their first.
And yeah, whatever headaches we have here in the city, things are so much worse upriver and down towards the coast.

Trash pickup has been intermittent, and a lot of storm debris is still out on curbs in the neighborhoods. But that won't affect most tourism visits.
This weekend was supposed to be the start of the rescheduled Jazzfest, and while that got Covid-cancelled, a lot of the club shows are still happening. For the most part, the city is ready for visitors.
